It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Oh gods and little fishes, yes. Clarifying: I don't think the job he has will exist after this project is done. What I'm vibing for is that another local department at the company will need a Common Criteria expert. That way, we don't change anything but the department whose budget his salary comes out of, and the location of his office.

What is even happening?

Deb, that is GREAT news about the book. I'm also holding good thoughts for Nic's situation.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think I finally have something I'm not too embarassed to send out to beta. It's mushy, though. Uber-mushy. You've been warned. Your insulin levels are not the responsibility of the author.

Allyson, send, please. Good timing; I'm on second cup of coffee and was waiting a bit before tackling my own, and a quickie beta is just the thing.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

God, I get to busy to check in for a week, and Deb's taken over the publishing world! Rock ON, Deb! Congrats!

And congrats-maybe to Erika, too.

Allyson, reading even as we speak, with my usual "notes as I read" thang going on. Expect the email in a few.

ooof. deb, I am SO SORRY I forgot to comb through the grammar before sending it to you. A sticking point for me throughout this project is the tense, because I'm switching back and forth between present and past. I didn't mean for you to have to pick through grammar, which I always think is terribly tedious for a beta, and terribly embarassing for me.

Heh. Allyson, it wasn't a problem - I figured you'd gone zoooming through it, putting it together - and that's just the sort of thing I do myself, tense-swapping or losing commas, when I'm working at hyper-speed.

Feedback any help?
